The easiest way to import bookmarks from your Vivaldi browser on another device is to use the Sync feature. But what if you want to import bookmarks from another browser? If you can export bookmarks to an HTML file from that other browser, then it’s super easy to import them to Vivaldi on Android. Here’s how!

To import bookmarks:

1. Go to the Bookmarks Panel.
2. Tap on the 3-dot menu in the top right corner of the panel.
3. Select „Import Bookmarks“.
4. In the files menu, locate and tap on the file you want to import.

You’ll find your imported bookmarks in a folder named “Imported”. If you’ve imported multiple files, the folder name will also include a number.

If you’re ever wondering whether you have the latest browser version with all the coolest new features and the most recent bug fixes, simply head over to the About Page.

To open the About Page, either:

• Go to the main menu > Help > About.
• Type „vivaldi:about“ in the Address Field.
• Type „About“ in Quick Commands.

There, on top of the page, you can see whether the browser is up to date, needs a quick restart to update, or, in case you have automatic updates disabled, an update can be downloaded.

Whether you’re working on a small laptop screen where every pixel counts or just prefer a more compact look, Vivaldi’s toolbar customisation settings are here to help you achieve a configuration that works for you.

To combine the Address Bar and the Tab Bars, you need to move components from the Address Bar to the Tab Bar. Here’s how!

1. Open the Toolbar Editor from the main menu > View > Customize Toolbar, or right-click on a component on the toolbars and select Customize Toolbar.
2. While the icons are wiggling in their place, drag components you regularly use from the Address Bar to the Tab Bar (or to other toolbars).
3. When you see a line in your theme’s highlight color appear, drop the component to its new place.
4. When you’re happy with the result, click „Done“ in the editor window.
5. Then, in the main menu > View, click on „Show Address bar“ to hide the Address Bar.

A lot of what we do on the web involves searching for information. Whether doing a generic search or looking things up on a frequently visited website, using the right search engine can help you get to the right search results in no time. In Vivaldi on iOS, you can add your own search engines, give them nicknames, and even make the one you love your default.

To add a custom search engine in Vivaldi on iOS:

1. Go to Settings > Search Engine > Add Custom Search Engine.
2. Enter the name of the new search engine.
3. Type in a short and unique nickname.
4. Insert the search URL, and if you wish to receive suggestions from the search engine as you type, also the Suggest URL.
5. Optionally, expand the More Options section to enter POST parameters and, in case the search engine offers reverse image search, also the Image Search URL.
6. Tap Done.

To get the Search URL, either:

• Look for it in the search engine’s documentation.
• Do a test search on the search engine’s website, copy the URL and replace the search keyword with %s.

After having spent time on making your Start Page perfect by rearranging and customizing your Speed Dials, it would be a shame if things got disarranged because you accidentally clicked and dragged a Speed Dial. Luckily, there’s a setting to prevent it from happening.

To disable drag and drop:

1. Go to Settings > Start Page > Speed Dial.
2. Disable „Allow Drag and Drop Reordering“.

Whether for sharing, document naming, issue reporting or something else. Sometimes it’s good to get the full web page title, especially if it’s not displayed on the page itself.

2. While the title is selected, press CTRL / ⌘ + C on your keyboard.

When looking up pages you’ve visited in the past in Vivaldi on Android’s History Panel, tapping on an entry will open the page in the active tab. This is fine when you have the Start Page open in the active tab, but you may be taken away from an important page as well. To avoid the latter, you should open the link in a new tab instead.

To open a link from History in a new tab:

1. Open the History Panel.
2. Long-press on the entry you want to open.
3. Tap on the 3-dot menu icon in the top right corner.
4. Select „Open in new tab“ or „Open in private tab“ from the menu.

In addition to searching for web content with a search engine, you can use the Address Field to search for Bookmarks, open Tabs, and History.

To filter searches in the Address Field:

1. Type the nickname „bookmarks“, “@tabs“, or “@history” followed by a space in the Address Field.
2. Then start typing the web page’s title or URL to see relevant results.
3. Click on the suggestion to go to the web page.

Prefer using Quick Commands? See how to filter searches there in Tip #323.
